eggstatic Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 We have a large walk in run and the chickens have access to the bottom quarter of a large garden. How many bantams can I keep in a cube please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 You say you have a large WIR but don't say how large?? That would be the decider for me rather than the cube size. I reckon you could sleep 15 bantams in a cube fairly easily, although may need an additional nest box. I have 15 girls (mainly smallish large fowl) and whilst they have other sleeping accommodation, they have bunked in the cube together before now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I have a cube, and it currently sleeps 12 banties and minis with room to spare. As Debs has said, you're restricted only by the space in the run - you need to allow roughly 1msq/hen, at the very least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I agree. i have 6 bantams in a small coope, and a small run! but they free range all day whilst im building there WIR! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
